Coach Sarri's team secures the full prize once again away from the Olimpico - the last time was on December 13 at Tardini against Parma - and surpasses Bologna (one game less) and Udinese in the standings, flying to eighth place.

Verona falls again and suffers the third defeat in the last 4 games: Zanetti's Gialloblù have secured only one point against Napoli, at Maradona in the last 360 minutes and remain in second-to-last position, sharing it with Pisa (but with one game less).

Before the kickoff of the match, the spectacle is in the stands with the choreography of over 2,000 Biancocelesti fans who came to Bentegodi.

In the away section, a banner appeared saying “All of Rome is here for you,” accompanied by others individually displaying various neighborhoods of the Capital.

“Ostiense, Trionfale, Fleming, San Lorenzo, Giuliano, Dalmata, Torrevecchia, Rebibbia, Pigneto, Acilia, Ponte Milvio, Ponte Mammolo, Ostia, Monteverde, Balduina, Prenestino” and all the others. 

The first real big chance comes after 40 minutes, with Zanetti's Verona close to scoring the lead goal. 

The Gialloblù try with Bradaric's left-footed shot at the edge of the area: Provedel stretches and deflects the shot to the outside.

Lazio's response is signed by Romagnoli with a header from inside the penalty area that goes over the crossbar.

Lazio protests in the 60th minute for a contact between Cancellieri in the penalty area. Referee Guida lets play continue, a decision confirmed by VAR after a fairly quick check.

A choice also shared by Luca Marelli, who analyzes the episode live on DAZN: "There is nothing irregular, Bradaric stops and then there is a game clash.”

Bad news at the end for Zanetti and his Verona. Bella-Kotchap moves forward and shoots at goal, but his shot is anything but irresistible.

After the shot, the number 37 Gialloblù feels a 'pull' and immediately asks for a substitution: Nunez comes in his place. 

Lazio finds the goal in the 80th minute: Cancellieri rewards Lazzari's overlap, who came on in the second half replacing Pellegrini. 

The Biancocelesti full-back attempts a shot-cross, on which Nelsson tries to intervene at the last moment.

The intervention of the Verona defender throws Montipò off balance, who cannot intervene. For the Serie A League, there is little doubt: it's an own goal by Nelsson and not a goal by Lazzari.

In the final moments, Verona protests for a contact in the penalty area, during the development of a corner kick.

Provedel anticipates Valentini on the way out: for the referee, after the VAR check, it's a free kick for Lazio for a foul on the Biancocelesti goalkeeper.
